How is the Speakon connector wired for REL sub?

Recently purchased a used REL T2 sub that came without the Speakon cable. I just got the Speakon connector from Parts Express but am not sure where each wire is attached on the connector. Anybody familiar with the wiring configuration on these cables? Which pin gets left, right and ground? Thanks.

Try this to eliminate the hum, this should be in the video's I mentioned above, but maybe not.
Using the Neutrik Speakon plug connection as you stated that you are doing, now run a single RCA interconnect from the sub red line input to a red RCA input on your preamp. This should eliminate the hum.

2) Yes
3) No problem.

@waterzlife I found the Neutrik NL4FX 4-Pole speakON Cable Connector to be superior to the Neutrik NL4FC 4-Pole speakON Cable Connector.
Although both will work the NL4FX has a more robust easier to use thumb mechanism. I have used both purchased on Amazon.
On Neutrik SpeakON:
Black 1-
Red   1+
Yellow 2+
